If I create a new account for my wife. Will she see she my music in itunes, our photos etc. If the above means that each user has their own music and photos etc then can I create 1 account (like the one I already have) and have a different password for the adminsitrator password the one that yo have to tyep when you click on the padlock. BTW that password is the same as the one I log in with) Hope this makes sense TIA [/QUOTE]
